By avoiding super heavy support systems (often thought to be stable through their high mass) we have found that although initially they are hard to vibrate once moving they tend to store low frequency energy which is exceptionally difficult to dampen. Unfortunately the highest energy from the speakers is associated with the lower frequencies. It is this energy that high mass racks can be prone to store and pass into your equipment.

We did not take a modular approach idea to our table construction. Our frames are fully assembled with the joints being securely glued with high-strength structural adhesives. Although this limits modularity it provides maximum strength, rigidity and purity.

Andante Largo’s light and rigid construction approaches to control resonance and vibration allow your system to more easily capture the tiny details that are essential in transforming your music.

Materials are kept to a minimum the more compact the design the lower the Mass and the more rigid the structure and we believe the better it sounds.

Because of our rigid frame design we offer a good selection of widths and shelf spacings. This allows our racks to accommodate the widest range of equipment.

Examples: Silicon rubber, natural wool, resonance cancel weight inside pipes hollowing out shelves, etc.

Internally there is a lot going on to further control resonance and vibration inside the frame. The cutaway picture shows the internal rubber foam and the damping wool and cancel weight.

These techniques further dampen the frame but minimise any mass gain.
